the bingham's go to catalina each year. the memories we make there hold us all over till the big reunion next summer. i have had so many pics to blog i didn't know how to do it, so these next 2 posts might be the longest posts ever =)
my favorite part about catalina is the feeling of going back in time to a simpler way of life. no cars, no walmarts, no worries...
on the ferry ride over there we must have seen thousands of dolphins, it was breathtaking!
hugs
our hotel (till they kicked us out before we even checked in because we had too many kids... what?!)
day one, straight to the beach!
the only shot i have of the kids in their wet bathing suits waiting to find new accommodations.
losing our hotel was a blessing in disguise, for the same price we got a 2 bedroom condo, with a golf cart included, a pool, jacuzzi & our own private cove! gorgeous.
spain won the world cup, hank was ready to cheer them on.
our first breakfast, we hosted, instant pancakes... very gourmet.
canon ball!
